I decided to do my last magical dining for 2026 here. I made a reservation through OpenTable. I…read moredecided to sit at the bar since it was open, and tried the Capari cocktail for 15 dollars. It was literally bitter sweet, with the sweetness coming from the fruits, and the bitterness most likely from the liquor. It was still a good and refreshing drink. For the appetizer, I had to try their unique and popular pork belly s'mores. It looked like a dessert, but a sweet and savory dish. The pork belly was braised nicely and tender, with the marshmallow adding the sweetness. The homemade crackers were very nice, and the jalapeno added a nice kick. The main dish was the bourbon chicken. It was nicely tender and had a hint of sweetness from the bourbon. The rice went well with the chicken, and the broccolini was perfectly grilled. For dessert, the bread pudding with ice cream was a perfect end. Moist and delicious. It was getting full, so I was able to save some and enjoy at home too. The service was attentive with my bartender checking up with me occasionally. They were quite busy, but still friendly. The dining area looked dark and a bit more formal than last time I visited. But still social and relaxing. I didn't get to see the outdoor patio, but it looked nice from the inside. I parked at the UCF/Valencia garage, which was 3 dollars per hour. Sadly, they don't validate parking. I am so happy I ate at the Monroe for my last magical dining. It's been a while since I eaten there, but the food and drinks are still great. I must say the food was definitely high in calories, sugar, and fat, but it was well worth it. It's just that good in a very nice environment. Definitely will come again when I need southern comfort food! Overall: A

The server came around and took our orders, promptly brought our water every time our water was low, and checked in on us. I got the Caesar salad, the Mushroom Stroganoff and the bread pudding. All three were delicious. The salad was straightforward and was exactly what I would expect from a Caesar salad, but the stroganoff was the standout. The pasta was perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. The only thing I could say that would make it even better was if it was a little less salty. The mushrooms really carried through, the sauce was creamy, and the micro greens helped brighten up the brown color palate. The desert, I love bread puddings and this had a modern twist. It was served as a square, crispy on the outside, like it was deep fried, covered with cinnamon sugar, but still soft on the inside. It was almost like a bread pudding crossed with a churro, which I loved. Highly recommend, I will also say, I love all their restaurants.

The cocktail menu was really creative and all the drinks felt thoughtfully curated. Nothing felt random; every drink had a clear concept and the ingredients actually made sense together. I got the clarified ube cocktail and it was so unique - fun, smooth & amazing flavors. The pad kra pow cocktail was a little spicy for my taste but my husband loved it. The atmosphere was loungey & a great place to sit, chat, and try something different. Definitely the kind of spot that feels like you accidentally unlocked a little secret bar. I'd absolutely come back for more cocktails.

Magical Dining at Delaney's Tavern felt a little like one of those nights in a movie where…read moreeverything is warm, slightly indulgent, and somehow the ravioli becomes a main character. The cocktails were beautiful in that almost-too-pretty-to-drink kind of way, except obviously I drank them. The food was rich, comforting, and the kind of good that makes you briefly stop talking, which for me is saying a lot. And then there was the truffle ravioli. I'm not saying I've thought about it an unreasonable amount since dinner, but I'm also not not saying that. Our server Colin was attentive, knowledgeable, and somehow made the whole evening feel even more special without ever hovering, which is truly an art form in itself. Magical Dining is such a lovely excuse to try some of Orlando's best restaurants while supporting local charities, but Delaney's is one of those places I'd come back to even without the excuse. Preferably with another plate of ravioli. And maybe another cocktail. For research purposes, obviously.

Both were expertly mixed and absolutely delicious. For food, we got the giant soft pretzel, the meat and cheese board, and the hot honey pizza. All were delicious. The pretzel was our favorite. We ordered the milk and cookies and that was such a fun treat. The cookies were warm and served with oat milk and a shot. All around great bites. Tuesday night burlesque was lovely.

Last night we enjoyed the avocado dip and the short rib and fig flatbread. I was surprised that the avocado dip was cold, but still delicious. Another favorite is their beef carpaccio.

You'll need to navigate one set of stairs to reach the bar, followed by another once you're admitted. The atmosphere is perfect: dark without being overly so, with beautiful candlelight throughout. There's seating at the bar and a few tables inside, while most of the seating is outside beneath a covered glass awning. The drinks are excellent--some of the best I've had in Orlando. The bartenders are incredibly knowledgeable and true masters of their craft. If the bar is crowded, drinks can take a little while, but they're well worth the wait. I originally found Hanson's while looking for a place to repair a pair of vintage Vietnam combat boots. Instead, I ended up having some of the best drinks of my life. I went to sleep with the boots beneath my pillowcase, and when I woke up, they had somehow been repaired. Perhaps the spirits of the boots were pleased with my drink choices. A wonderful experience all around!
